Updated: 6:34 PM EDT Sep 5, 2023
WELL, NOW THAT SUMMER IS UNOFFICIALLY OVER WITH THE END OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND, IT IS TIME TO GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS AND GET YOUR HOME READY FOR THE COZY FALL SEASON. THIS IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR. AND HERE TO HELP US IS AWARD WINNING INTERIOR DESIGNER AMY YOUNGBLOOD FROM AMY YOUNGBLOOD INTERIORS AND OVER THE RHINE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. WE WERE JUST CHATTING. I JUST BROUGHT OUT MY FALL DECORATIONS SO I FEEL SO VALIDATED. YOU’RE AHEAD OF THE GAME TO GET PEOPLE BACK IN TOWN FROM VACATION. WE NEED. OKAY, SO LET’S START IN THE KITCHEN. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE DESIGN TRENDS THAT YOU’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW? WELL, FIRST OF ALL, WE STILL WANT WE HAVE CLIENTS THAT REALLY WANT A MORE CONTEMPORARY, CLEAN LINED KITCHEN, BUT THEY WANT MORE OF A SOFT, MODERN LOOK AND WE OFTEN APPROACH KITCHENS LIKE YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PICTURE. THIS IS A NEW PROJECT WE JUST FINISHED UP. THIS IS ACTUALLY MY OWN HOME. I HATE. I MUST ADMIT IT’S BEAUTIFUL. AND WHAT WE CAN DO IS INTEGRATE, CONTRAST AND DIFFERENT ELEMENTS IN THE SPACE THAT AREN’T SO SLEEK AND MONOCHROMATIC AND I THINK THAT’S KIND OF A LOOK THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING AWAY FROM A LITTLE BIT. AND WE ALSO, LIKE YOU CAN TELL IN THERE, WE’VE GOT COMFORTABLE SEATING. WE’VE GOT SOME CONTRASTING CABINETRY ON THE ISLAND. WE EVEN HAVE LIKE SOME ORGANIC ELEMENTS LIKE THE THE THE SHALE I’M SORRY, THE SLATE IN THE ACTUAL FIXTURE OVER THE THE ISLAND. SO WE’RE RELEASING JUST A LITTLE MORE WARMTH IN THESE CLEAN LINE KITCHENS. WHAT ABOUT AS FAR AS LIKE COLORS GO? WELL COLOR IS A BIG THING IN THE SUMMER AS WE KNOW. AND THOSE BOWL COLORS HAVE REALLY BEEN IN THIS HERE FOR THE SUMMER. BUT THEY ARE REALLY KIND OF PROGRESSING INTO THE FALL. AND WHILE FALL IS VERY EARTHY AND MORE MUTED TONES, IT REALLY POPS WELL WITH SOME GREAT IMAGES SUCH AS LIKE, YOU KNOW, DEEP LAVENDERS AND BLUE HUES AND REALLY JUST ADDS SOME ZIP TO YOUR SPACE AND KIND OF KEEPS THAT WARMTH GOING. SO NOT JUST THE TRADITIONAL ORANGES OR BURGUNDIES OR THE GREENS, YOU CAN KIND OF MIX IT UP A LITTLE. WE’RE SEEING A LOT OF DIFFERENT COLORS IN BOLD TRENDS, MIXING WITH NEUTRALS FALL ISN’T EVEN HERE YET. BUT THEN OF COURSE, ONCE IT IS, YOU’RE GETTING READY FOR THE ENTERTAINING HOLIDAY SEASON. SO WHAT SHOULD PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT GETTING THEIR DINING ROOM AREAS READY? WELL, I WILL SAY THIS IS ANOTHER DINING ROOM THAT WE SAME PROJECT WE DID. AND WE’RE SEEING PEOPLE WANT TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE COZY SPACES, NOT JUST THE BIG OPEN CONCEPT. I MEAN, THAT’S GREAT FOR SOME ROOMS, BUT A WOW, DINING ROOM LIKE THIS WHERE YOU’VE GOT YOU KNOW, YOU’VE GOT A REAL IMPACTFUL CHANDELIER, YOU’VE GOT IMPACTFUL ART, YOU’VE GOT A CONSOLE THAT’S GOT A LOT OF DETAILING AND ELEGANT, AND THEN THIS SPACE DOESN’T HAVE IT. BUT WE ALSO ARE ALSO SEEING A LOT OF BOLD FUN WALLPAPER OUT THERE. I ALSO LOVE THE FLORALS ON THE TABLE TOO. SO YEAH, WE COULD DO THAT EVERY DAY. OH, I WISH. OKAY, LET’S TALK ACCESSORIES THOUGH. WHAT TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING FROM SOME OF THE PIECES TO SPICE UP YOUR HOME AS WELL? WELL, A LOT OF THINGS LIKE JUST THROW THOSE AND FUN PILLOWS. IT’S ALWAYS GREAT TO DON’T FORGET ABOUT ACCESSORIES IN YOUR SPACE BECAUSE THAT REALLY MAKES IT OR BREAKS IT. THIS OUR NEXT TOPIC WE’RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT VELVET IS REALLY HOT THIS FALL. OKAY. IT HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO BE A PIECE OF UPHOLSTERY IN THE FRONT OF OUR OFFICE. AGAIN, BEAUTIFUL, DEEP GREEN AS I’M WEARING TODAY. I’M WEARING TWO VERY FOOLISH. BUT WE’VE SEEN IT IN AN UPHOLSTERED ITEMS LIKE CHAIRS AS AGAINST SOFAS AND EVEN IN PILLOWS. YOU’VE GOTTEN ME SO READY FOR FALL NOW I AM SO EXCITED. A COUPLE MORE TRIPS TO THE STORE. IT’S GOING TO BE EXACTLY. OR CALL US AND WE’LL BE CALLING YOU OF COURSE. AND YOU CAN AS WELL. AMY YOUNGBLOOD WITH AMY YOUNGBLOOD INTERIORS, OBVIOUSLY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. ALL THE TIPS IN CASE YOU MISSED THEM, WILL BE ON OUR WEBSITE, WLWT DOT COM. AND NOW LET’S TU
